A Fate Forged in Fire by Hazel McBride

medium-paced

4.0

I devoured this book. The feminine rage was *chef's kiss*. The world-building was fantastic and infused with lots of celtic mythology. The enemies to lovers was of the sort that had me wiggling my toes. Butt he biggest thing about this book that brought me to love it from start to finish was the deeper message about how religion can and usually is weaponized against women. Aemyra is both fabulously flawed and unabashedly fierce and I loved her so very much.


This book is for lovers of dragons, real enemies to lovers, celtic culture and mythology, and feminine rage. Some loved tropes to look out for are forbidden romance, arranged marriage and forced proximity, touch her and die.

Many thanks to Netgalley, Random House/Delacorte, and Hazel McBride for sharing an eARC with me.
